Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love is everlasting! ~ Psalm 118:1

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love is everlasting! ~Psalm 118:1

Such was and is the sentiment that pervaded from the recent meeting with the young ladies and visit to their families that we had in Ormoc City from April 11-13, 2012.

Vocation, the call to follow and serve God particularly through the priesthood and the religious life is, and continues to be, a gift offered to the one especially chosen to hear and generously heed the voice of Him who invites and calls.

It is marvellous at this present time, even warmly refreshing, to meet and see young women who would sincerely and with utter simplicity express that they do desire to become a nun, a Sister, a religious. Evenmore awesome is the full support and encouragement that the parents, their families, friends and Church community give them.

For the wonders the Lord unceasingly allows us to tangibly experience, our hearts gratefully sing out, in joy: Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love is everlasting! (Psalm 118:1)

Lord of the Harvest, God and Author of Life and of our vocation, sustain with your grace all whom you especially call to the priesthood and the religious state. May the fire of love of you in their hearts, in our hearts, be kept ever burning through your Word and the sacraments; through the goodness, love and care we concretely manifest and share to one another, to all who walk the pilgrim way with us!
